‘Mad’ scientists inspire pupils at Silverdale

Dancing fire, lasers and dynamos all featured in a roadshow enjoyed by students at Silverdale School in Sheffield.

BAE Systems and the Royal Air Force joined forces to entertain year eight pupils at the school and help inspire them to become scientists and engineers.

Suzanne Summers, head of biology, said: “It was a fantastic opportunity to show the students that real scientists are normal people who are fun and passionate, as well as knowledgeable. I hope we have inspired some engineers of the future.”
